365Photos

We had a few inches of snow overnight.

There are more eagles coming to Lock and Dam 14 but they weren't very active today. I was there for two hours and only saw one eagle take a fish. (photo below) They fly into the wind when they fish and since the wind was in my face it not only meant that I was cold but also that the eagle was flying away from me when he grabbed it.

If you came looking for photography you won't find it here today. This is just a photo to that I took today so I would know who I picked in the college bowl games.

This photo actually has some meaning to me but I'm not going to tell the story.

Nicole's Mom and Dad took us out to eat at Applebee's for Nicole's birthday. Afterward we drove through Eagle Point Park to see the Christmas lights.

Tomorrow is Nicole's birthday. She's a big fan of receiving flowers at work but she doesn't work tomorrow. I had to send them a day early. My original plan was to get a photo of her with the flowers but she ended up having to work late and she came home very tired. I decided not to ask her to pose with them.

I will definitely not be doing a 365 project in 2014. The daily grind of it leads to too many shots like this. I'm thinking I might try a photo per week project because I do like the schedule of it, I just can't handle 365. This house looks great as you drive by. If I had arrived a little after sunset when there is still a little light in the sky I could make a really nice image of this house. But instead, I stopped in total darkness and snapped a cell phone pic out of my car window.

Today I went to Lock and Dam 13 where there are hundreds of eagles but most of the time they are too far away to photograph. Every once in awhile they will fly over head as this juvenile did. I didn't stay long though. It was 12 degrees F and -2 windchill.

I went to Lock and Dam 14 today looking for eagles. There were some but the photo opportunities weren't that great. Hopefully the action will pick up in a couple more weeks.
